I don't know what would look good. What should I wear?
The easy answer is your favorite clothes! But we won't stop there. You receive access to our What to Wear guide and other inspirations on our Pinterest board with tons of ideas.
What's even better is we walk through your closet during the in-home design and planning consultation to help you choose the most suitable outfits for your session based on your style, colors, and locations.
We show you our preferred couture rental vendors so you can choose those once-in-a-lifetime gowns and suits for your most poshed look. And we won't forget about accessories and props like hats, earrings, sunglasses, and your favorite shoes.
I want to look natural. Can I do my own makeup?
Makeup is optional and complimentary. You are 100% welcome to opt out or do your own. However, we highly recommend taking advantage of our professional makeup artist. They will be able to give you ANY look you want.
Natural no-makeup makeup? Full glam? Goth and edgy? Cute and moé? Minimal, sophisticated, and professional? Clean, fresh, and masculine? YOU GOT IT! You get full control over how you look for your pictures.
You can even bring our makeup artist on location for touch ups and style changes with our Signature Plus session. This adds a ton of variety to your final gallery!
When do you usually schedule your sessions?
Our custom sessions are typically on Wednesdays and Thursdays in Salt Lake, Utah, and nearby areas.
We reserve a limited number of Sundays per month for our Signature Plus session. Plan an all day party for yourself if this is you!
The mini experience is occassionally available. Sign up for our mailing list to get notified about exclusive offers and specials.
I feel awkward in front of the camera. How should I pose?
Rest assured, we've got you covered! Our clients are everyday people like you. Their magazine-worthy portraits are a result of tuning into their best self.
We match your outfits with the perfect studio backdrop or spot in town. With good lighting, angles, composition, posing prompts, expression coaching, and your established connection with us, you will look good just sitting down and looking bored (really!).
But we never take the easy way out. We show you exactly what to do in an effortless and natural way. The key is to have fun and get creative!

How does the design consulation work? What if I have no ideas?
If you are within the Greater Salt Lake area (mostly Salt Lake County), we will come to our home for your styling consultation or meet you virtually. If you are outside of the metropolitan area, we will meet virtually. This meeting is when we will brainstorm and talk about your vision, timeline, locations and outfits, collections and products, all the logistics, and your client portal and prep guides we have created to set you up for success!
I love the designer magazine! How do I get one?
Oh my, are we glad you asked! We love it too! The designer magazine is an add-on available when you purchase our heirloom album or our top collection.
We create each magazine from scratch. No templates! To ensure we are telling your story in the most unique and sensible way. This means your magazine is truly one of a kind.
Will this be expensive?
I have a budget.
The Signature Experience is a custom session tailored to you and includes:
- Pre-session consultation and design
- Client portal with all the session prep perks
- Professional hair and makeup services
- Photoshoot in studio and on location
- Couture wardrobe rental and accessories
- Expert posing, movement, and expression coaching
- Professional magazine-inspired editing and retouching
- Multiple outfits and set changes
- Behind-the-scenes footage
- Product credit to order from our exclusive catalog
- Private ordering and selection
Think you need more? Ask us about our Signature Plus session! How much you want to treat yourself is entirely up to you. Some of our clients spend $500 and some over $10k. You only buy what you love and want to treasure for the rest of your life.
What type(s) of payment do you accept? Do you offer payment plans?
We accept most major credit and debit cards, bank transfers, checks, and cash.
The session fee is due immediately upon booking to reserve and schedule your session. This secures your date so it is yours only and not open for any other clients.
If you know what collections and products you might want when we meet for your design consultation and wish to buy in to our credit program, we offer prepayment plans with perks! For orders over $3k placed at the post-session meeting, payment plans are available.
Do I get the digitals?
We believe prints and digitals go hand in hand. Each of your purchased images will be delivered to you as a print with a corresponding web-sized digital file. The more you buy, the more you save. Only buy what you love and feel confident about your purchase!
Better yet, we offer collections that will help you get the best of both worlds along with exclusive products like our designer magazine, heirloom albums, and showstopping wall art that will be perfect for your home displays.
All purchased images come with a print release for personal use. Copyright and usage licensing rights can be discussed for corporate and commercial work.
Can I bring guest(s) to my session?
Parents, siblings, family, partners, friends, pets are all welcomed. So long as you're comfortable! We recommend a small (no more than 2 people) to no audience to avoid distractions.
If you wish to be photographed with others, we can absolutely plan on that with advance notice. Additional fees may apply for extra hair and makeup services.
A parent or legal guardian are required to be present if you are under 18 unless explicit permission is given. Otherwise, you can hang with us alone or with a significant other. We love it when your bestie (and maybe that's mom) joins in and grab some fun behind-the-scene videos.
Where is your studio? Can we shoot on location?
Our main studio is conveniently located in downtown Salt Lake near Trolley Square. We also have a professional home studio on the border of Riverton and South Jordan right outside of the Daybreak area near Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple and The District.
All of our clients love the clean and editorial nature of photos created in the studio. It also saves everyone from having to deal with the elements . But we absolutely do offer and love to shoot on location for our custom session.
The awesome thing is you don't have to do all the legwork of finding places. We provide you with a location guide with tons of great options in Utah. From urban and edgy, colorful and artsy, to adventurous and scenic. We will plan out the logistics for getting to your chosen location(s) or similar along with matching them to your outfits and looks for your session date! Some location(s) may require an additional fee.
When do I get to see my images? I can't wait to share!
We are excited too! If we could, we would show them to you like yesterday (lol). For our custom session, we can offer the proofing and ordering appointment on the same or next day. It just depends on how you feel at the end of your session.
We recommend all financial decision makers be available during this time. One ordering appointment is included with your session fee. Additional meetings will incur a $250 fee.
For mini marathon specials, proofing and ordering happens immediately after your shoot.
Ok, I'm ready.
Let's do this!
We book 2 to 3 months in advance. When you get on our schedule early, you have the power to choose your favorite season(s) and priority dates. Once we get your message, we schedule your discovery call to go over your dream photoshoot, finalize the session fee, and set up your client portal.

I wasn't sure I wanted senior pictures.
Most of my friends got the same looking stuff and I didn't care for them. But I'm so grateful I found Anh and her team. Her images look like they belong in a magazine. And she did, in fact, got my pictures published in a magazine. My mom and I cannot thank her enough. She is so awesome and yet so humble. It was super easy and comfortable being in front of her camera. And I know my mom and I will always have fun looking back at these images.
